Judging from the majority of the comments on YouTube, a lot of people do not seem to understand that Eli Roth’s upcoming Death Wish is a remake of an earlier film. And the few who do realize it seem to be under the impression that it’s either a remake of one of the Punisher films or a rip-off of The Foreigner.
I mean, seriously, that’s kinda pathetic. There’s no excuse not to know your film history.
Anyway, here’s the 2nd trailer for Death Wish! It doesn’t really look that good but hopefully, it’ll still be better than The Brave One!
Otherwise, Truth or Dare basically looks like a remake of It Follows with a little bit of TheRing tossed in. I have a bad feeling that this is going to be one of those movies where the entire plot is dependent on everyone being beyond dumb but as long as it’s scary, who cares?
You know, I think we all know that the Slender Man movie is not going to be that good but the trailer, which dropped earlier today, certainly is creepy!
Here’s the trailer:
(Myself, I’m hoping the 2019 will see the release of a related film called Fat Man, to be followed in 2020 by Slender Man vs. Fat Man.)
I have a theory that the Taken films, Non-Stop, and the upcoming The Commuter are really just documentaries about the every day life of Liam Neeson. I think Neeson retired from acting in 2009 and since that time, he’s been just been traveling around the world and beating people up.
That’s my theory anyway.
The Commuter is the latest film in the Neeson documentary series. In this one, he gets involved in intrigue on a train. This movie is scheduled to come out in a few weeks and, since it’s a January release, we will probably have forgotten about it by March.
I have to say, though, this trailer amuses the Hell out of me. It’s almost as if the trailer is trying to be snarky about the film that it’s advertising. I especially enjoyed the Saved By The Bell-style acting when Ana told the architect to stay away from her man and to call her “Mrs. Grey.”
And then, that ending.
“You’re pregnant, Mrs. Grey.”
Apparently, the doctor got the memo about Ana’s new name. So, that’s a good thing, I guess.
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film, Den of Thieves.
Den of Thieves will be released in theaters on January 19th, where it will provide counterprogramming for all the people who aren’t interested in catching up with the Oscar nominees.
It’s the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War!
Remember how we all got chills when we heard James Spader saying, “I’m going to show you something beautiful…” during the Avengers: Age of Ultrontrailer? That’s how I feel when I hear, “There was an idea…” at the start of this trailer.
So, in honor of Val’s commitment to her craft, I decided that today’s six trailers would be for six movies that Val either watched or mentioned in her review of The Evil Eye! Unfortunately, it turns out that not all of those movies have trailers on YouTube. And I already shared the trailer for Mario Bava’s The Girl Who Knew Too Much (a.k.a. Evil Eye) last week.
Let’s see what I did find!
Bruka, Queen of Evil (1973)
I could not find a trailer for Queen of Evil. However, when I did a search for “Queen of Evil Trailer,” one of the trailers that came up was for Bruka, Queen of Evil. I’ve never heard of this film before but it looks like something some of our readers would like.
2. Manhattan Baby (1982)
However, YouTube did have a trailer for Lucio Fulci’s Manhattan Baby, which was also known as Evil Eye. Actually, Evil Eye was probably a better title for it. I’m one of the few people willing to defend this film and even I’m unsure just what exactly Manhattan Baby is supposed to mean.
3. The Green Inferno (1988)
Val’s search for information about The Evil Eye led her to Bloody-Disgusting.com, which featured an infamous review of The Green Inferno. Here’s the trailer for 1988’s Green Inferno, which should not be mistaken for Eli Roth’s Green Inferno.
